Big brother is matching you

A certain agency concerned with "intelligence" claims to intercept, archive and analyse all types of communications passing over the internet (or at least used to). I am sure, someone analysing my emails and posts to newsgroups etc (yeah, the halfbakery, too) will be able to get a good picture of my likes and dislikes.

The said agency shouldn't waste all the information collected. For a start, why not match people on the basis of similiar interests and affinities and send an email to each? "Big brother has been watching you. Big brother has found this person who has been graded as having 97.7489% similiar interests as you. Big brother recommends that you get in touch and fraternize or whatever. Love, Big Brother."

And what does BB get from it?
